"Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna feel
When suddenly I slip away?
Almost am a ghost
Of who I used to be
Yesterday.
How you gonna touch
And how will you collect
The beauty when it turns to dust?"

Chapter Two: Unwanted
They say when you find your other, you find true happiness than you could ever dream of, and that you become whole. Life was never experienced without the other; you need them like life depended on it. You feel alive!
They also say once they are loss you feel dead, almost like you were from the start, but worse...
...So what was the point in finding them if they made you weak? Nothing! It's only an old tale! The elders just trying to...scare...the little children!
It's a fucken waist.

His teeth glistened in the moonlight, his pale skin glowed, and his piercing eyes penetrated the darkness menacingly. The shadows crept over his hunched figure on the rooftop, sharpening his features. Blood-red eyes stared unblinkingly over the city. His tongue grazed over a sharpened fang, and he smirked ominously into the night as he flung off the building.
The people looked small, worthless. He harshly glared at them as his ebony hair ruffled with the wind. His senses were on high alert. He sniffed the air, tasting, and feral growl escaped his lips when he couldn't smell anything of 'flavour'. He would find it! How long could it take! He was not supposed to wait, how could he if he needed to 'please'! His eyes sharpened once again. He will find his mate if it was the last thing he did! The pinwheel in his deadly eyes started to turn rapidly.
...He didn't want a pathetic mate!
The rain was tinkling on my head, making my hair a darker shade of pink. She frowned when she saw me rubbing my neck. My dulled eyes turned to her and I smiled a shaky smile. "Mum…" I said. She knew I was thinking about the incident when I was younger by me touching my neck. She always did worry too much about me for no reason.
A small smile came to her pale lips; her fingers ran through my wetly clumped hair. "I know, Hun, sorry."
Her slim fingers paused in mid stroke and her hand fell away. "Come on, we're going to get sick."
I helped her bring the luggage inside the cosy house – restarting my life once again.

The thick, dark clouds hung in the sky, making shadows form in obscure places and rain pelt down harshly. I looked back from my long run to the large doors and waved another good-bye to my mum from under the shelter. She waved back before she drove away, leaving me to start my new school alone.
The corridors were scarce from people already in class as I walked to the principal's office. When I finally found it I knocked on the door, and shortly after a 'come in' responded.
When I entered the room a middle aged, blond lady was sitting behind a desk. I sat in a chair she gestured me to. "Welcome to Konoha high, I'm Tsunade and you must be Sakura." She reached out to shake my hand with a smirk on her face.
I smiled back when we shook. "Yeah, that's me." I gave a nervous chuckle. "Um, I was wondering if I could get my timetable."
Tsunade shook her head, smirking. "Ah yes, of course." She then passed me a piece of paper and told me where my rollcall room was.
Room: 26
Paper plains and scrunched up balls were being thrown around the room while people were sitting on desks, chatting away. The room was hectic, lively. A small, happy smirk came to my lips when I noticed only a few people had noticed me enter. Good.
A loud blond girl with stunning blue eyes and fair skin was talking animatedly with a bunch of friends until her eye caught my sight. Her jaw became slack. "F-forehead?!"
